Hi, Rasha,
You spoke clearly, but I would encourage you to work on your reduction and linking to make your speech sound less stilted and choppy. You might listen to some recordings, like those on Voice of America or BBC Learning English, and try to copy the linkings and reductions you hear the broadcasters use.
Here are some grammar notes:
one of the oldest city – one of the oldest cities
Jewish – The noun for this religion is Judaism. Someone who practices this religion is called “Jewish,” an adjective.
It has also – It also has
which is headed many tourists from all over the world – many tourists head here from all over the world
was graduated from – graduated from
it has also rural and urban places – It also has rural and urban places.
Your organization was nice, and your details and examples illustrated your hometown beautifully.
Thanks for sharing!
